Is it possible to put a 'Featured Content' slider bar on the front page of my guild site? I've been trying to poke around and see, it seems I need a plugin of sorts to do that. Are you able to point me in the correct direction?

If your tooltips are not working or only show gibberish (raw HTML) then you are most likely missing the updated tooltip script. Add the following to your Footer Area (Control Panel > Custom HTML & Scripts > Footer Area)
